In its first game in over two weeks, the Nevada Wolf Pack cruised to a 98-62 victory over the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs on Wednesday behind a dominant second-half performance at Lawlor Events Center in Reno, Nev.
Nevada’s last two games — against North Texas and UT-Arlington — were both canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the program.
The Pack began Wednesday with some justifiable rust, committing 12 first-half turnovers against its Division-II counterpart, who’s ranked No. 12 in the nation by the D2SIDA media poll and No. 17 in the NABC coaches poll.
“A lot of that has to do with not playing for two weeks and not getting a lot of practice,” Nevada head coach Steve Alford said postgame.
